Bond binge!

I am obviously, as the title states, on a Bond binge. Craig did almost all his own stunts... kick ass. If I were an actress, I would, too. As much as it would kill me and everything. =P

Also...MICHAEL KAMEN wrote the score for License to Kill! Timothy Dalton freaks me out but it sounds like I would like the Bond movies he was in. I don't know if I've seen any of them in particular. He just doesn't look like a Bond to me... then again, the more I think about Casino Royale, the more ridiculous Die Another Day feels, and the less Brosnan looks like a Bond. But that's really not his fault... the genetics were too much for me in that movie (jumped the shark, as it were). Honestly the invisible car... didn't bother me in the slightest. I've read too much Popular Mechanics about creating digital armor, I guess, and then there's that new projection field or whatever that scientists created.

Science fiction becomes reality more and more! Or reality becomes science fiction. ;P I prefer the latter.

At any rate... I hope they decide to bring back Cleese as Q. Cleese is just AWESOME. Yes, they have to be able to have a more seroius Q, because that's the tone they're bringing in. (By the way, what the FUCK happened to Nearly Headless Nick in the Harry Potter movies?! Goddamn them changing the books into movies. I think they ruined it for me, HONESTLY.) I really DO love the new tone... less cheez factor...but come ON. JOHN FUCKING CLEESE, MAN!

I know, I freaking sound like a lunatic. Wait until I get out of college and into a job I LOVE. (Where I can be a fangeek ALL THE TIME! W000000!)

[EDIT]OOH, OOH! And you know what would be a cool party? Like a surprise birthday party? Tell everyone to dress up like Bond characters, make sure there are no multiples, and tell the person whose birthday it is to dress like Bond. And get lots of people. THAT WOULD BE COOL. XD

I just never shut up, do I?

There are some really nice quotes on the exterior of the Humanities Building, and the one I noticed today put some things into perspective. I can't remember the wording, but it was about how mystery grows with knowledge, rather than decrease. It made me think about religion... just... that maybe that's why there are so many agnostics. They don't realize, I mean, I didn't either, that things only get more complicated. It can't possibly help that humans are so fallible, either.

So, yeah. Faith is restored a little. =)

AND as for more James Bond. (See? Title is apt.) I've been poking around this weekend reading about Casino Royale, and had seen a few places that there was one made in 1967 that everyone deemed generally junky. I got the impression it was a really bad made-for-TV movie or something.

BUT NO. THIS IS GOLDEN.

It is a DIRECT parody of James Bond. Why do I say direct? Man, you thought Austion Powers was direct. They got away with using many characters from Casino Royale, INCLUDING BOND HIMSELF, as well as the theme of the plot. How they secured the rights to that I'll never know. =P But ANYWAY. PETER SELLERS IS BOND, AND WOODY ALLEN IS ALSO IN IT. Peter Sellers, you know? The original Pink Panther? Oh geez, you folks need to see those. And the Marx Brothers films. I know how deprived you all are...

But at any rate. Peter Sellers is amazing. Woody Allen is amazing. Bond is amazing, and so are parodies. I think I have shit my metaphorical pants with happiness. =^n.n^=

*GLEE*
